Easy, make it about someone making Fudo pay... Though no reincarnated Amata or Mikono, they aren't good enough for a sequel to Evol. Zessica and Kagura along with Jin coming back as a Ghost to be with his loli would sell way better.

Spoiler for Predictions for the probable sequel:

I'm not sure about if Amata will be reincarnated since he had a "happy ending" with Mikono-san, just like Apollonius.

But about Zessica, I think she will be reincarnated... I'll based it on a statement she said once..but it's 8000 years and not 12,000 years.

I'm not sure how much strength this franchise has left, I mean it's (last I checked) selling decently well but at the same time the people who were largely supporting and watching it were fans of the original... and a good number of them (if I go by the reactions I've seen across the webs) weren't all too happy with the piss some parts of EVOL took on Genesis and its characters. It was never that popular on its own though, I don't think. (I'm not going to really touch on terrible writing, characters, and just about everything wrong with this series that in any normal case would NOT lead to a sequel or movie, but the original (and its abysmal sales figures) managed to pull out two movies and a sequel purely on the popularity of its music.) To top it off, there's not really even a plot thread to carry over anymore, so the only things I can see are either: MF retelling (with a hopefully more congruent/different plot) or weird-post end sequel where a giant space flee from nowhere is introduced as an enemy.

If the comedy of biglobe is at all relevant (which it really isn't but someone had a vendetta against this show apparently), it didn't exactly do to well being fifth or some such on the worst show rankings.

well, they're separated afterwards but its hard to say... probably and probably not.... the question is who will Zessica be with?

Spoiler for pop:

Kagura's got no reason to reincarnate, he had his magical "I'm okay with this!" turn around at the end which can only work if he's done with the reincarnating hullabaloo.

Zessica, Yunoha and Jin, and Shrade and Cayenne, are the only ones who'd have any even remotely arguable reasons to be reincarnated, but that just leaves Zessica alone unless ShuShu reincarnates to be with Mikono but ends up with Zessica (or we can go for a six man gambit with the listed characters). You could probably pull some arbitrary reason out of someone's butt for why X character might reincarnate.

Amata reincarnates because his desire for a mom and dad!
Kagura reincarnates on his desire for SYLVIE! because why the hell not.
Mikono reincarnates out of a desire to accomplish something.
Operator-kun reincarnates out of a desire for more lines and scenes.
Etc...

Ah... thanks.

Spoiler for My Assumption:

Guess we could remove Amata from the list because of Mikono and Mikono because of Amata. Andy and Mix are removed as well. Kagura well... Silvie's dead.

That's leaves with:

Yunoha+Jin
Zessica+ Shushu (huh?!)
Shrade+Cayenne ( a sex change might happen for one of them but I see fujoshi's staring angrily) hehehe

Not mine. Its a popular show, it has the ability to polarize people, and people love to hate big shows. Its when the little shows make their way onto these sorts of lists that tend to be more believable because most people aren't going to waste their time just *hating* on a show that no one cared about, so more people are left voting who watched it, cared, but ended up disappointed (or at least in my ideal imagination world where people are good, kind, helpful things). Like I said, someone might have had a real vendetta against EVOL for that poll (but the biglobe polls are a joke, I mean the last cast vote call for EVOL had Mikono placed below non-entity side characters (the male side had like thirty votes for any one character not named Jin or Shrade, while females had hundreds to thousands)).

If nothing else, the exasperation of the *reveal* and then the finale of Team Terrible Parents Blasting Off Again! that coalesced after those two episodes on 2ch was some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a while, unfortunately that's (the latter especially) not a good thing because all of the comedy and said bewilderment wasn't intended.

If there's one thing that's been consistent in EVOL, it's Mikono's unpopularity. I think she made some list for "Most Unforgivable Characters in Anime" when it was still the first half of EVOL. So that's something I'm not surprised at.

A bunch of the 2ch reaction to Amata and Mikono's "Apollo and Silvia moment" was pretty subdued as well. I think the general consensus was "Ugh, finally" or "I felt nothing". Although there was some weird buzz around Kagura and Zessica. Even the director Yamamoto said that Kagura was greatly impressed by Zessica (disregarding the fact that the past 25 episodes Kagura didn't care about any other shit; why he should care about some girl now makes no sense - much like the entire Aquarion series) and that he'd like to see some romantic developments between them (even though it came out of nowhere again... was it really that hard to have some competency in the staff?)

Why are you expecting third series? OVA/Movie is more realistic at this time.

An OVA would be the better choice. I don't see any reason to do one though. Amata and Mikono got their happy ending. Maybe if they did an OVA they could focus on other characters (Andy, Mix, Yunoha, Zessica, Kagura, Cayenne, etc.) and show what they're up to after the finale?

So I watched the director's cut, which was pretty much extended battle scenes and extra character interactions. Sound like a good chance to attempt fleshing out the whole Amata/Mikono/Kagura/Zessica/Mykage/Apollonius thing? Nope, none of that. Dunno if anyone's posted a comparison already because the last thing I'd like is to read the backlog of this thread.

Spoiler for Director's cut vs TV version:

- OP2 is kept in.
- Cayenne gets his Dark Wedding vision thing again when Mykages talks about taking Mikono's body becoming God of blah blah blah, this time Mykage's image replaces Kagura's.
- Cayenne, Shrade, Andy, MIX and Rena get their last episode gattai scenes.
- Extended scene before Crea uses her teleport powers: One of Ancient AQ's hands grows freaking swords on it's fingers and Shrade's spirit pilots Geparda to finish that hand off. Shrade then says goodbye and turns into butterflies.
- Another one of Shrade's piano tunes plays as BGM due to the extended time. My mistake, it's the rest of Zekkou Encore. I forgot the song had a different sounding part towards the end.
- New scene just as Mykage takes out Amata, Kagura and Zessica. Yunoha tries to reach for her handle and is supported by... Tama. Turns out Jin's soul has been in Tama the whole time.
- Full version of Zero starts playing around that scene.
- Yunoha, Jin, Crea and Cayenne re-gattai into that four legged Aquarion with the cannons and shoots Jin & Yunoha's barrier attack to stop Mykage's attack on EVOL.
- Amata's naked-in-space scene is longer because Yunoha, Jin, Shrade, Cayenne & Crea also say his name.
- Aquarion LOVE has a new paint job. It's now mostly silver/metallic-ish. They made a mistake on that during the TV broadcast because even the TV version on disc has the new corrected colours.
- Full version of Genesis of Aquarion (minus the Japanese lines at the start) starts to play during Mykage & Fudou's scene. The song no longer abruptly cuts to the last lines when Amata & Mikono emerge from LOVE at the end.
- Gekkou Symphonia returns as the final ED. Crea's illustration is added this time.

So what I got out of this in the end was that Yunoha will likely be spending the rest of her life loving a plush toy now that Jin is Tama.

While I liked that the full version of Zero played I kinda prefer if they had played a different track and left Zero to start just like in the TV version. It felt more effective that way.

Oh and Asarii and the other mob characters didn't get any new scenes either. (´・ω・`) Still waiting for my spinoff manga, Kawamori!!

- New scene just as Mykage takes out Amata, Kagura and Zessica. Yunoha tries to reach for her handle and is supported by... Tama. Turns out Jin's soul has been in Tama the whole time.
...
So what I got out of this in the end was that Yunoha will likely be spending the rest of her life loving a plush toy now that Jin is Tama.

That's bound to get very awkward in the future... Or not, I mean, hey, plushies are a kink as good as any...

Finally a good decision!

I guess I'm just glad they didn't tamper with the Aquarion LOVE sequence in any other way. That was so glorious I would've hated to see it changed to the worse.
